The Chicago dog shares a single element with our hometown favorite. It's a steamed beef frank, that's where the similarities end. First of all for a Chicago dog you start with a natural casing frank, and in our opinion none work better than a Kayem Old Tyme beef frank. It also has 7 toppings, and this doesn't count the roll or the hot dog itself. To the experts, this frank's toppings are not up for debate, they are specific, even down to the order in which they are applied. The idea being that with each bite you get a small taste of each topping. So the order? Start with a poppy seed bun, natural casing beef frank inside.
